Jason Piccolo has served in the federal government since 2000 and held positions in five different departments. Jason was the whistleblower about the Obama administration releasing unaccompanied alien children to criminal sponsors.  He tells his story of coming forward about this and what pushed him to make the decision to do so. The discussion moves into the issues that Jason faced when he did this and his ongoing litigation. Jason explains the difficulties of getting someone to listen to him and the subsequent retaliation for exposing the truth.

Jason's experience at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) means he well qualified to discuss the border debates and ICE protests, so Chuck and Mark take advantage of this knowledge.  They ask Jason about the recent uproar about ICE and what really happens at the border. Jason explains the true process of handling illegal immigrants and the multiple agencies involved in the process. Chuck and Mark further discuss the importance of ICE and the need for immigration policy reform.
